Copper Canyon to hold town hall about water shortage for fighting fires

The town of Copper Canyon will hold a town hall meeting Sunday because of a water shortage.

At the Feb. 12 Town Council meeting, representatives from the board of directors of the Cross Timbers Water Supply Corporation reported to the Town Council that the current elevated water tank is stretched beyond its limits, according to a town news release.

They indicated that the demand for water for household use and irrigation often causes Cross Timbers Water to dip into the fire reserve capacity in the current — and only — elevated tank. The result is a shortage of water capacity for fighting fires.
